Property Description
The Lafayette Dairy is a premier agricultural business located just two miles west of Mayo, Florida along
US Highway 27. Located in Lafayette County, the property is situated just 1.5 miles south of the Lower
Suwannee River. With over 3 miles of paved road frontage and close proximity to the amenities of
town, this property boasts incredible convenience for a large farming operation.
The farm is currently operated as a dairy and can be purchased as such with a continued contract through
Southeast Milk. The owner and operator grows silage on site and all dairy and farm equipment can be
purchased as a package deal along with stock. For those not wishing to continue operation as a dairy,
there is an option to purchase the land and improvements without the equipment or stock. With multiple
purchasing options, this property can easily be tailored to fit a variety of financial and operational portfolios.
The property features approximately 650 acres of cropland irrigated by newly installed center pivots. There
are an additional 100 acres currently irrigated by hard hose and more land can be converted to irrigated
field due to the property consisting of 99% uplands. There are also grain bins, barns, and all necessary
infrastructure to compliment these highly productive agricultural fields.
Housing for farm staff is no issue with this property. There are currently 12 dwellings for managers,
herdsmen, and maintenance staff in addition to a farm office for daily operations. Trucks, trailers, and tractors
can be purchased for an immediate continuance of operations after purchase. These improvements and the
opportunity to purchase onsite equipment makes for a truly turnkey operation.
This listing provides the savvy buyer with a truly unique opportunity to continue operation as a dairy
contracted through Southeast Milk. Just inside the Mayo city limits, Southeast Milk provides all of the support
staff and technical assistance required to sustain a dairy operation. Given the high percentage of irrigated
fields, this property can also be easily transitioned into a beef cow or row crop operation.
